Is there a function missing or has it been Changed
Is there a function missing?
I thought we had a function in the alias section that we could tick to receive mail from only people in our address book, has this been moved? is it somewhere else now |

I don't think it's in the Alias section, but I do know that you can define a Rule with those particular Conditions.

I thought there was a box we could tick in fact I thought I had ticked that box, but perhaps not.

There was definitely a box you could tick.
Wonder what happened to those ticks? Someone's going to be ticked. |

Yes that is what I thought, I suddenly got spam mail to an alias and I was sure I had ticked a box in the alias section so that it only delivered mail to people in my address book.
Perhaps the feature is now somewhere else...... Or we have lost it. |

I could see them removing such a feature since I don't much difference between what that did and creating a discard rule for it (or your own sieve code). Puts all your discards in more or less the same place?

We prefer to tick one box instead of ticking lots of silly boxes...

Better idea for filing messages not from someone in your address book (or a group)
